After finding out more about the circumstances surrounding my 'acceptence' with my new job, I've decided to bite the bullet and send them an email simply outlining why I don't think this job is a good idea for me. My frustration only increases with the steady stream of last minute forms they need me to fill out that are required for the postion...yet they still have me working. I don't feel privilaged, I feel suspicious, and more of an incentive to get out of this position before I am truly stuck with it and have no career to speak of, only a mind-numbing job that will only eat away at me further. I wished a permanent position was open at my last assignment...I even told that former co-worker I would rather spend a bad day working with them than a good day at this new place.
I know it's risky being so upfront with my employer about a position I just started, but I feel I didn't get the whole story before I started in the first place. I made no threats about quitting if things didn't go my way, just an outline of what skills I was hoping to aquire for my long-term career goals, and that in general this current position is not the right path to meet those goals. I have ambitions and would like the chance to see what I can learn and just how far I can go. I am not happy with the prospect of being dropped into a position just because they know no one else will fill it because it won't go anywhere. The commute sucks, the pay is laughable, and the location is isolated to where there is nothing to do with my free time. What interaction I have with the customer consists of spending at most five seconds with them, then leaving. That's not the kind of 'career' I want. Even the perks of having access to the great factilities of a global company is not enough to justify me turning a blind eye to how much this job is completely the opposite of what I really want.
Hopefully, they take my email seriously and consider me for something else.
